Kingscliff sits across the border from Gold Coast Airport, about 17km away. On average, it takes only 20 minutes or so to get from one destination to the other, but that depends entirely on what sort of transport you take. With public transport, it could take hours because services only leave a scheduled times and those times could fall outside the time of your arrival at Gold Coast Airport. Taxis are an option, in the alternative, but they can be unpredictably priced, thanks to their metered charges. There’s also the taxi rank to contend with, which can become busy when flights arrive. The best option in terms of price, service, and efficiency is a transfer from Car Australia. We offer day and night transfers from the Gold Coast to Kingscliff, and we take you directly from the airport to the doorstep of your destination. There are no stops along the way – unless you want them – and our drivers only travel by the quickest and most direct routes.

With our drivers’ intimate knowledge of the area, you can rest assured that your trip will be as quick as possible, and quicker than most alternative options.

Gold Coast Airport

Gold Coast Airport is not the largest airport in Queensland, but it certainly makes up for it in efficiency. It has one terminal to cater for domestic and international travellers, and that terminal is located adjacent to the stunning coastline of southeast Queensland. If you’re descending into Gold Coast Airport during the day, you’re sure to be treated to a spectacle of natural beauty. If you’re coming in to land there at night, you’ll be treated to the lightshow of Surfer’s Paradise and the skyscrapers, restaurants, and clubs that line the foreshore. To get to the quieter, but just as beautiful shores of Kingscliff, your Car Australia transfer will be waiting for you on arrival. We track your flights using the flight number you give us, to ensure that our drivers are ready and waiting when you step into the arrivals hall at Gold Coast Airport.
